    Hello,

    My little fella has a very high temp at the mo. Nurofen & Calpol at selected times are doing OK but we find the Paralink suppositories good.....my question is though is it safe for an 11month old to be taking the 3 at staged intervals?

    You can give nurofen and either calpol or paralink but not calpol and paralink. Nurofen is ibuprofen but the other two are paracetamol.

    Don't mix calpol and paralink! Those both contain paracetomol. Talk to GP or pharmacist, especially with v high temp in small babies.

    Dont take any chances with your baby. Could you ring the GP or the pharmacy or even A&E to ask. The Paralink suppositories are supposed to be MAGIC but you could be overdosing. It would be ok if the Neurofen & Calpol were gone out of his system.

    Speak to a medical professional.
